Burna Boy is setting the tone for his upcoming album “No Sign of Weakness” and his new track “Update” proves that he’s staying true to his roots while keeping things fresh. kicking off with an unknown sample before diving into a rich blend of Afrobeat essentials. The shakers, percussions, and drum patterns immediately evoke the classic Fela sound, giving the track a raw and authentic feel.
But Burna doesn’t stop there. Midway through the track, he introduces an Amapiano log drum, subtly blending two of Africa’s biggest sounds. The result is a track that feels familiar yet refreshing, a seamless mix of old-school Afrobeat and modern influences.
If Update and the previously released Bundle by Bundle are any signs of what’s to come, then we’re in for a sonic feast with No Sign of Weakness. Burnaboy continues to stand out not just for his voice or lyrics but for his ability to innovate while staying rooted in authenticity.
Now, let’s be real, was there ever a doubt? The moment I hit play, I knew I was hooked. Why? Update had me locked in. Burnaboy delivers once again, proving that consistency and creativity go hand in hand. A 10/10? Easily. Because while no song is perfect, this one is a tradition, a legacy, and above all, a statement.
